Chapter 78: Chapter 78 After Fleeing, The Disabled Boss Stops Pretending – End
“Miss Su, would you follow Mr. Lu across rivers and mountains, through the vast crowd, to be united in heart forever, growing old together?”
“Now the groom may kiss the bride!”
Lu Peijin deeply stared at his light. As they moved closer, the light shone through a gap, blurring the boundary between them.
“I will always love you.”
As he kissed her, she heard him say this.
It was like a promise.
Lu Peijin captured his light and from then on, he could never bear to let go.
Life after marriage was not much different from before.
If there was a change, it was that Lu Peijin now had a legitimate, official status, and like gum, he wanted to stick to Su Zhiruan every day.
When she went to the grassroots to work, he wanted to follow. When she went on research trips, he wanted to accompany her as well.
Before giving birth, Su Zhiruan was even writing reports.
Although there was a great disparity in family backgrounds between Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin, she was now a public servant of the country and also the Madam of the Family Head of the Lu Family, so all the noble ladies and rich wives or young misses in their circle dared not underestimate her.
In the wealthy circles, many marriages are contractual, and most just play their part separately, needing only to maintain an appearance of a loving couple, but even blind people could see the love between Lu Peijin and Su Zhiruan.
Lu Peijin completely turned into a gigantic romance enthusiast, either clinging to Su Zhiruan or on his way to cling to her.
In a prenatal checkup, when Su Zhiruan saw the ultrasound showing twins, she felt somewhat helpless.
One day she asked Lu Peijin, “Do you have any twin siblings or the like? Why are we having twins again?.”
“No, maybe the kids just particularly wanted to come to our family?” Lu Peijin said, caressing her belly.
“Okay, been pregnant twice, got five kids, our home is nearly turning into a kindergarten,” Su Zhiruan sighed deeply.
“After these two, we won’t have any more,” Lu Peijin said, still feeling sorry. He held Su Zhiruan, careful not to press on her belly, his tone full of tenderness and reluctance.
At this moment, the morning light was faint.
With the system’s “Golden Finger” and Lu Peijin’s meticulous care, Su Zhiruan’s pregnancy with the twins went smoothly, without much pain, and her mood was also very good.
She checked into the hospital ahead of time and following the nurse’s instructions, she soon gave birth.
“Congratulations, Miss Su! They are twin boys!” Two nurses showed Su Zhiruan the babies before proceeding with the follow-up steps.
These two children, Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin had already discussed their names.
If they were girls, they would be named Liuyun and Liuyu; if boys, Qingyun and Qingwen.
When Lu Peijin learned that the children were born safely, he immediately asked the nurse about Su Zhiruan’s condition.
Knowing she had fallen asleep from exhaustion, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Returning to his senses, he realized his palms were all sweaty.
Su Zhiruan’s confinement this time was still at the maternity center.
Upon arriving, she even saw a few familiar faces from years ago.
Back then, when she had triplets, Mingzhu, most people did not know these were the children of Lu Peijin of the Lu Group, but this time, the whole internet knew she, Su Zhiruan, was the current Madam of the Family Head of the Lu Family. As soon as the staff saw her, they immediately came up to warmly greet her.
After completing her confinement period, she returned to her previous work routine.
Day after day of work and life not only did not wear away the feelings between Su Zhiruan and Lu Peijin, but made them each day as sweet as ever.
A lifetime is too short, only seeing the person before you, unable to see anyone else.
In the blink of an eye, the children had also grown up.
Qinghe was steady, had followed Lu Peijin from a young age, and after becoming more familiar with the business, he began to show his edge, displaying his capability to stand on his own.
When Lu Peijin reached retirement age, he comfortably handed over the company to him.
Even though Qinghe expressed that he was still a child and didn’t want them to go out and enjoy life so soon, after Lu Peijin’s praises, Qinghe finally compromised helplessly.
Su Zhiruan felt this development was somewhat familiar, but couldn’t pinpoint where exactly it was familiar, she just felt that it seemed like it had been the same last time…
The children, having had the best upbringing from a young age, had, as adults, pursued careers in their areas of interest.
“Finally, I can fulfill the promise of our youth, to travel and play with you!” Lu Peijin laughed brightly.
“People are old now, missing the best of their youth!” Su Zhiruan pretended to lament, trying to tease him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Peijin’s eyes carried a hint of guilt; he turned serious, “I’m sorry, Ruanruan, that it’s only now we can travel and enjoy leisure together.”
Su Zhiruan hugged him, her voice softening, “I was joking, we’ve always been together in this lifetime, how could I regret it?”
Her voice was distant yet close, “This lifetime, I’m very satisfied! To have gotten such a long-lasting love, thank you, Lu Peijin.”
“What are you talking about, Ruanruan!” Lu Peijin enveloped her in his overcoat, “Having you in this lifetime, being able to love you, to have someone truly by my side for life, is my honor.”
“I had promised back then, to love you for a lifetime. In this life, my love is only for you, you are my whole world, where my light falls, where my heart desires, you are my dream come true, within my reach,” Lu Peijin said earnestly.
“Thank you.” Tears shimmered in Su Zhiruan’s eyes, “Meeting you in this lifetime is my honor.”
In the decades that followed, Lu Peijin and Su Zhiruan traveled across north and south Jiangnan, saw spectacular and rugged landscapes, countless craggy mountains, and vast seas.
Occasionally they would visit the children; having grown up, the children had each found their happiness and were as blissfully together as they had been in their youth.
When Grandmother and Old Master Lu passed away, both of them faced it calmly.
Life and death are not to be feared.
What is to be feared is forgetting.
The countless splendid landscapes ultimately are everyone’s final resting place.
“If there’s a next life, I think, we should meet again,” Lu Peijin sat next to her on the mountaintop, their hands clasped, still as sweet as when they were young, “If there’s another life, I think I’d still be with you.”
“Are you so sure? What if we never meet?” Su Zhiruan laughed, shaking her wrist, her ring gleaming brightly.
“We’ll meet, no matter the mountains and waters between us, I will find you again, fall in love with you again, and be with you,” Lu Peijin also laughed.
Though he was a firm materialist, after meeting her in this lifetime, he hoped for another lifetime.
In the next life, they would still be together.
They definitely would be together.
At that moment, the rising sun scattered golden light across the land, painting the whole world with radiance and brilliance.
We will always be together.
